It is hard to not remember someone who saved my life on more than one occasion. I think about times we shared almost every day. Miss you John.

This man was my father, he was the only real father I ever had, I think about him every day, and what he has done for me. He loved me and took care of me, as if I was one of his own; he didn’t have to do that, he took time in when nobody else would. I wasn’t his birth child, but I thought of him as my birth father. He took care of me and fed me, clothed me, and he worked hard. Sure, he wasn’t perfect, but he was a good man. I loved him then, and I love him now. ~ Kourtnie Anne Holcombe

Lynn and I always enjoyed visiting with John when we went to Zapata's in Lawton. He was so nice and helpful to our daughter, Laura, when she worked there. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

John,you were a great man, a mentor, and the best manager I ever had. You've always had a way of pacifying a bad situation or just bring joy and laughter to the people around you. You are deeply loved and missed. Your words will be with me forever, but you still stink at bowling. May God bless you and your family.
Zapata's Forever.

John,
I have not seen you in many years. It seems like yesterday that we stood next to each other at graduation. Through high school you were my best friend, remember you Parker and I used to go joy riding in my truck. Well it is time for you to rest, sleep well knowing so many people loved you. To the Holcombe family my heart and the wishes of the Masias family go out to you.

It sure seems like just yesterday that we were young and playing in the street. You were one of my brother's best friends. I am sure he will miss you as much as I. God be with you and your family.

My beautiful big brother
I love you so
It breaks my heart
You had to go
One day you're here
The next you're gone
You touched my heart
And then moved on
You gave me love
Like you'll never know
I'll see you soon
I love you, Bro

I don't know what to say! I have known the Holcombe boys most of their lives. My sons and daughter grew up with them for several years as neighbors. My middle son, Chris, stayed in touch with them even after we all moved. It's almost like losing one of my own.You boys stay close, and keep John in your hearts. He loved you as you loved him. Just remember, it's all part of God's plan. Bless all of you and if you need anything just call. I'm so sorry.
